If you are ever in Berkeley, CA then take the time to stop in at Urban Ore. It's a junker's dream! There are not only heaps and heaps of building materials up to and including the kitchen sink(s), but also more random weird stuff than you can shake a stick at.
You never know what you'll find at Urban Ore. That's why it's so much fun.
Money can buy a lot of things, but it certainly can't buy taste. This is the ugliest shelving unit I have ever seen. I WANT IT.
I wish the photo had come out better, but those are (almost) life-size panthers built onto those shelves. SO TACKY. Again, I WANT IT.
Let's take a closer look.
You know you want this sign.
You can also find that special something for that steampunk or Myth Busters wannabe on your holiday gift list.
I love you, Urban Ore.
Urban Ore was one of my favorite spots when I lived in Berkeley! So junktastic!

Thanks for checking out my blog! I like yours, too. :)
You're right- the only word for it is JUNKTASTIC!
I recently watched an old episode of Mythbusters where they went to Urban Ore. It made me really happy, then of course I felt like a big geek.
